Just bent the right lower plastic valence off, by the right front mudguard. The mudguard caught a low ledge and broke off the first two plastic fasteners. Now I have to see how to repair the enlarged hole inside the wheelwell that holds the fastener in. Looks ok now but the gaps are too large. I want to fix it correctly.

Do you guys suggest bumper lips? You think they look good? I'm considering getting one on my Z

Something about spending almost 500 bucks for more decorative lights in the rear just doesn't seem right.

I think it is. It really helps the Zs look more high class.

I'm in the same boat, Sparco. It looks much better, but I can't justify spending that much on some lights. I would rather wait to find someone who is going back to OEM and trading down.

I'm not even low and I'm close to scraping in and out of a mild driveway. Idk how some of you guys drive with slammed cars.

Driving in and out at an angle makes it easier, the sharper the angle the more clearance you'll get. I cant remember the last time I went in a driveway straight on with out some sort of angle to it.

Nismo - yeah I guess you just learn what you can/can't do and adjust accordingly. I'm definitely happy where I'm at.

SR-71 - yeah I mean, I know *how*, I was just being rhetorical. Lol

Received my Hayden 402 cooler along with Redline D6 ATF and a Magna-Pure PS filter from Summit today... sending the Hayden back because it had an annoying amount of bent fins brand new out of the box. Good times.
